The following prospectus in reference to the establishment of the co-operative best sugar refinery has been issued by the corporation: Co-operation as practiced in Europe the road to success. Reason and common sense, justice, enterprise and prosperity for the cooperative beet sugar factory. Prejudice and ignorance, selfishness, jealousy and dilliness against the co-operative beet sugar factory. So much has been said and written against debt on the factory is paid. It is with a corporation the same as with an individual. If he wants to build he must either have the cash or else borrow the money and give the required security theretor, or else he cannot build at all. It has been rumored that capitalists would come here, build and run the factory if the farmers would agree to raise the beats, which presumably can be done, but the farmers would then have no interest in the factory, and would merely receive the profits from the raising of the beets, being about $37, as against $163, if they would deed their land subscribed and build and run their own factory. Which will you do? Will you let the capitalist build and own the factory and make $126 per acre out of you and let you make $37 by the sweat of your brow, or will you have the enterprises and grit the capitalist has, furnish the money yourself by deeding your land; own and run the factory yourselves and make $163 in bounty, profits of manufacturing the sugar, and beets? If you are possessed of the same spirit as the men who have made Chicago the wonder of the world, you will deed your land and thereby furnish the sinews of war, owe your factory and by co-operation make yourselves what otherwise will go to the capitalist. The golden opportunity is before you now. It remains to be seen whether you are wide awake and have common sense enough to grasp it; and create the best market for your products at home, knowing before you plant that you will get from $4 to $6 a ton for your beets four months after sowing, and about $126 per share or acre per year profit from the factory. Such a chance has seldom presented itself, and it is barely possible that in this enterprising, progressive and enlightened age a community exists dull enough to let that chance pass. Men of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Westminster, Centralia, Artesia, Buena Park, Placentia and Fullerton, arouse yourselves and by united efforts obtain that which the Government has intended for you—two cents per pound bounty on sugar—which alone will distribute $100,000 among you each year for 13 years yet. You have the best lands for sugar beets. BEOGE, and Retail Dealer in Smines, Liquors and Cigars. AND LIQUORS GALLON OR BOTTLE. Promptly Attended to. EED FREE OF CHARGE! tot, ANAHEIM, CAL. F. D.

The following prospectus in reference to the establishment of the co-operative beet sugar refinery has been issued by the corporation: Co-operation as practiced in Europe the road to success. Reason and common sense, justice, enterprise and prosperity for the cooperative beet sugar factory. Prejudice and ignorance, selfishness, jealousy and deliness against the co-operative beet sugar factory. So much has bees said and written against the establishment of the proposed co-operative beet sugar factory by paid emissaries of monopoly, and by prejudiced parties wholly unacquainted with the industry, or who from selfish or jealous motives, or possibly because they have their own "hatchet to grind," are trying to prevent the consumption of this, the greatest and most beneficial enterprise to the farmer ever attempted in Orange or any other county under the staff and stripes, by discouraging, untruthful and perverted statements, that a few true facts touching the industry and concerning the object of co-operation herein will not be out of place. The object of the corporation is to form a co-operative beet sugar company for the purpose of manufacturing sugar from beets, the selling of it in the open market, and engaging in any mercantile or manufacturing business that may be necessary for the successful carrying on of the business of the corporation and fully carrying out the objects of the co-operative plan of conducting the business in like manner as it is so successfully done by 330 co-operative beet sugar companies throughout Germany; and the cause of their invariably great success, notwithstanding the fact that they pay for each ton of sugar beets in the factory four dollars internal revenue to their government and four dollars per ton for the beets to the farmer and receive no bounty, is due to the excellent quality of beets the farmers raise, by close attention and cultivation for their own factory—each endeavoring to excel his neighbor into the quality of the beets raised. The beet sugar factories so far established in the United States are not of the co-operative character, but were founded by capitalists who conduct business of manufacturing beets into sugar for their own and exclusive benefit. With but one exception they do not raise beets themselves, but contract with farms located in the immediate vicinity of the factory to plant, cultivate and harvest the beets, agreeing to buy from them all the beets produced of a sufficient sucrose and parity at a certain price delivered at the factory. Being intent upon making the return of the capital invested as large and hamsome as possible, they naturally seek to contract for the beets at the lowest possible price, thus limiting the profits of the producer of the beets to a minimum. The consequence has been to encourage many of the farmers, who object to having the greater share of the profits go into the pockets of the manufacturer, while they, in reality, main support of the enterprise, had to be satisfied with a pittance as result of their hard work. This same trouble existed years ago in Germany, and threatened for a time to kill the entire industry. It was then that the co-operative system was resorted to which has met with such wonderful success that the production of beet sugar at present by far exceeds in quantity all the rans sugar produced, and the farmers are the direct beneficiaries and owners of the factories, and those connected with $a ton for your beets four months after sowing, and about $126 per share or acre per year profit from the factory. Such a chance has seldom presented itself, and it is barely possible that in this enterprising, progressive and enlightened age a community exists dull enough to let that chance pass. Men of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Westminster, Centralia, Artesia, Buona Park, Placentia and Follerton, arouse yourselves and by united efforts obtain that which the Government has intended for you—two cents per pound bounty on sugar—which alone will distribute $100,000 among you each year for 13 years yet. You have the best lands for sugar beets, and if you have any mortgage on it, call on the secretary of the corporation at the office in Anaheim, and the necessary arrangements will be made to release it, thus assisting and enabling you to become a stockholder. Foreign Capital Interested In Irrigation Districts. The next few weeks promise negotiations of great interest to irrigation enterprises in California. A party of capitalists are now on their way across the ocean, who shortly after their arrival in New York, will leave in special cars for this State, accompanied by their American hosts. This visit is likely to prove special importance to California irrigation districts and their bond issues. It is certain that irrigation is arousing great attention in London and Paris. Wealthy Swiss capitalists are also interested. Scottish investors are taking a hand. Among them are capitalists who have previously gathered large harvests in British India on works of this character. San Diego and San Bernardino counties are concerned, and it is possible, indeed probable, that landed interests to the amount of 30,000 or 40,000 acres may pass under the control of the trust that is proposed. A large plan for the organization of a valuable colony by immigration is under way, and it is anticipated that several thousand horticulturists and farmers may be brought into Southern California within two years. The same parties have already directed Swiss settlers into Southeast New Mexico and Southern Arizona, including the valleys of the lower Gila and Salt Rivers and of the Santa Cruz. Among the Americans who will join the party is a well-known negotiator of irrigation securities, who is largely interested in irrigation enterprises and is an able irrigation expert, and who until lately was in Uncle Sam's service. The capital probably involved will reach several million dollars. In the Nick of Time. The nick of time to stop the course of bladder and kidney complaints is when the organs concerned exhibit a tendency to grow inactive. The healthful impulse toward activity that they receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them from impending danger, and averts such dangerous malasies as Bright disease and diabetes. Sluggishness of the kidneys increases a liability to chronic rheumatism, gout and dropy, and since the blood is filtered by these organs in its passage through them, the operation of the Bitters serves a doubly happy purpose. The medicine acts without exciting like the flery stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dyspneptic conditions occur more frequently than usual by this effect. Since this advent of that shaking malaria, la grippe, it has been widely demonstrating its usefulness as a curative and preventive of it. Land Grants To Railroads. Some of the grants of land made by Uncle Sam to railways are simply gigantic. The Union-Central Pacific alone got 41,000-000 acres.

The consequence has been to discourage many of the farmers, who object to having the greater share of the profits go into the pocket of the manufacturer, while they, in reality the main support of the enterprise, had to be satisfied with a pittance as the result of their hard work. This same trouble existed years ago in Germany, and threatened for a time to kill the entire industry. It was then that the co-operative system was resorted to which has met with such wonderful success that the production of beet sugar at present by far exceeds in quantity all the rane sugar produced, and the farmers are the direct beneficiaries and owners of the factories, and those connected with the co-operative factories have nearly all become wealthy. There is no other manufacturing enterprise where the manufacturer is so closely allied with and depends so absolutely upon the producer of the raw material in his immediate vicinity as is the sugar beet industry, and the great difficulty under which the manufacturer of this new industry in America is laboring at present, i.e. to secure for his factory a sufficient supply of beets of good quality, will be entirely removed by the co-operative plan, in which case the factory is owned by the farmers, who also raise the beets, and who will naturally try to obtain the best quality of beets, "for the better the beets the larger the dividends." Experience and the government reports show conclusively that the average production of one acre of well-oiltivated sugar beets is: Eighteen tons is equal to 36,000 pounds; at 10 per cent of sugar equals 3,600 pounds of sugar per acre. 3,600 lbs of sugar @ 2 cents bounty. $72 Cost of manufacturing sugar - 4 cents per pound market price at factory; 5 cents per pound profit in manufacture on 3,600 pounds @ 1½. Eighteen tons of sugar beets @ $4 per ton. $72 Cost of raising, etc., if all labor is hired. 35 Net profit on beets. 37 Total. $163 Which is a clear profit of $163 per acre, or share, the stockholders will obtain if they make the enterprise co-operative, and in order to make it so and procure the necessary capital to build and equip the factory they must either pay $125 in cash for each share of stock, or dead, for each share, one acre of land to the corporation, which virtually is deeding the land to themselves, for they farm the corporation, and they will receive when deeding an agreement from the corporation to redeem the land as soon as the profits of the producer of the beets to a minimum.

For, though there are about fifteen or twenty stars whose distance have been conjectured, the astronomer knows that in reality all of them, save three or four, lie at distances too great to be measured by any instruments we have at present. Astronomers agree in fixing the distance of the nearest stars at 22,000,000,000,000 miles, and it is certain that the distance of Sirius is more than three or four and less than six times that of Alpha Centauri, most likely about five times; so that we are probably not far from the truth if we set the distance of Sirius at about 100,000,000,000,000 miles. What a vast difference is that which separates us from that bright star; words and figures of themselves fail to convey to our minds any adequate idea of its true character. To take a common example of illustrating such enormous distances: It is calculated that the ball from an Armstrong 100 pounder quits the gun with the speed of about four hundred yards per second. Now, if this velocity could be kept up, it would require no fewer than 100,000,000 years before the ball could reach Sirius. Again, take the swiftest form of velocity of which we have any knowledge light, which travels at the rate of 200,000 miles a minute, yet the distance of Sirius is so vast that it would take nearly twenty years for its light to reach us; so that if Sirius was suddenly to become extinct we should not be acquainted with this fact till twenty years hence. Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton, S. D., we quote: "Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my Lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth. I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughes and found to pay in all cases. Beets require a high state of cultivation, and all the farmers on the ranch are realizing the importance of it. Almost every farmer has had his land in splendid shap. Many of the roots are already two or three pounds in weight, and even more, and some will begin to ripen in a few days. The last planting is just being done. Four thousand acres of the ranch are devoted to beets, which are in all stages, from the seed just planted, to those fully grown and almost mature. Planting has continued this spring for nearly five months, and it is expected that the manufacturing campaign, which will commence about July 10th, will last fully as long. This will give continuous employment to a large number of men during the entire year. The Chino Champion doubts if there is any place outside of California where beets are grown that has more than half as long a planting season as this, and any place in California where the conditions are as favorable to so long a season as on the Chino ranch. This is on account of the gradation of land here from a light, warm soil in which planting can be done in January, to moist white where seed will germinate and grow during any part of the summer. A number of fields are now being planted from which a good crop of hay has been taken this spring. There are now eight or nine cultivators in use, and over 500 men and boys in four gangs are at work thinning, weeding and hoeing. It is hard for one to realize the extent of these operations until he has traveled over the ranch and seen the men at work and comprehended the system of organization of the forces. It is an industry that comes nearer, in its beneficial effects, to the man of small means, than any started in this State for a long time. Personal Paragraphs.

I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles; it has cured me, and thank God I am now a well and hearty woman." Trial bottles free at W. M. Higgins' drug store, regular size, 50 cents and $1.

It is stated that the King of Portugal will return to the United States the 42-pounder "Long Tom" of the American privateer General Armstrong, which was sunk in the harbor of Fayal, Azores Islands, in 1814. This is a different case from the proposed return by us of the captured Mexican colors, which has excited so much discussion in the neighboring Republic. The General Armstrong was attacked in a neutral Portuguese port by a British squadron, with that disregard of the rules of war which England once had a habit of showing on quite too many occasions. The British wanted the General Armstrong to add to the strength of the naval expedition against New Orleans, then on its way. They sought to capture her for that purpose. The little vessel made a desperate resistance, and so crippled the British squadron that the attack on New Orleans was delayed, giving General Jackson time to prepare for an effective defense of the city, in which his efforts were crowned with brilliant success. Captain Reed of the Armstrong scuttled her when resistance was no longer possible. The Portuguese subsequently recovered "Long Tom" and mounted it in the Castle of San Juan, Fayal. It is in no sense a Portuguese trophy of war, and our Government accepts its return without any question of honor or propriety. Huckleen's Arnica Salve.

A drive through the Chino best fields now is a continual surprise. The extensive fields, over six miles in length, are a solid mass of waving green, the tops being full size and completely covering the ground. The beets have been making a wonderfully vigorous growth during the past two weeks, and with their broad, healthy, dark-green leaves in every direction, form as pleasing a sight as one can look upon. The fields are perfectly clean of weeds and grass, and under as good cultivation as we have ever seen anywhere.
